Rb1785-260512-WS

A synthetic peptide from aa region 990-1040 of mouse CACNA1B conjugated to blue carrier protein was used as the antigen.

CAC1B, CACNL1A5, CACNN, calcium channel N type, Voltage-dependent N-type calcium channel subunit alpha-1B, Voltage-gated calcium channel subunit alpha Cav2.2, CACNL1A5, Calcium channel, L type, alpha-1 polypeptide isoform 5

FUNCTION: Voltage-sensitive calcium channels (VSCC) mediate the entry of calcium ions into excitable cells and are also involved in a variety of calcium-dependent processes, including muscle contraction, hormone or neurotransmitter release, gene expression, cell motility, cell division and cell death. The isoform alpha-1B gives rise to N-type calcium currents. N-type calcium channels belong to the 'high-voltage activated' (HVA) group and are blocked by omega-conotoxin-GVIA (omega-CTx-GVIA) and by omega-agatoxin-IIIA (omega-Aga-IIIA). They are however insensitive to dihydropyridines (DHP), and omega-agatoxin-IVA (omega-Aga-IVA). Calcium channels containing alpha-1B subunit may play a role in directed migration of immature neurons.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Widespread expression throughout the brain. Highest levels in pyramidal cell layers C1, C2 and C3 of the hippocampus, in the dentate gyrus, in the cortex layers 2 et 4, in the subiculum and the habenula.

Maintain the lyophilised/reconstituted antibodies frozen at -20°C for long term storage and refrigerated at 2-8°C for a shorter term. When reconstituting, glycerol (1:1) may be added for an additional stability. Avoid freeze and thaw cycles.
